The Quechuans believed that all things participated in both the material level and the mystical level of reality, and many individual Quechuans claimed to have contact with it directly with an ichana (dream) experience.
contact with it directly with
direct contact with it by way of
contact with the last directly through
direct contact with the latter by means of
contact directly with the mystical level due to
题目分析：
本题并列连词and身后的意思是：
很多Q人被称为和ichana通过梦境有直接的接触。
选项分析：
A选项：代词it的指代对象为语境中合理的单数名词。本身其在逻辑上指代the mystical level of reality没有问题，但是，由于本题中the mystical level of reality和the material level是在同一个both and短语中的，即，两者被融为了一体，所以这造成了it无法单独指代the mystical level of reality的问题。另外，directly是副词，只能修饰动词have或者介词短语with an ichana (dream) experience等非名词成分，但在逻辑上，其应修饰名词contact，即，直接的接触。
B选项：代词it指代错误同选项(A)。
C选项：副词directly错误同选项(A)。
D选项：Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
E选项：副词directly错误同选项(A)。另外，due to通常用来表示原因而不是方法。
关于C选项的知识点补充
"the last" is incorrect.
* "former/latter" should be used only when there are exactly two things.
* "last" should be used only when there are three or more things.
i think that "first" can actually be used in either of these two situations (in contrast to "last", which shouldn't be used unless there are 3 or more things), but i would want to see official GMAT evidence before making a conclusive judgment on that issue.
The Quechuans believed that all things participated in both the material level and the mystical level of reality, and many 【direct contact】 with 【the latter】 by means of an ichana (dream) experience.
Q认为，万物都参与了现实的物质层面和神秘层面，并通过梦境体验【与后者直接接触】。
adv.修饰adj.或者v.，不修饰n.
A选项：contact with it 【directly （×）】with
contact这里是名词，仔细看题！跟direct形容词形式（如果为动词，因为前面有have，所以应该跟contact的过去分词contacted！！；因此此处的have contact为[不可数名词]）

contact这里是名词，仔细看题！跟direct形容词形式
directly应该跟在直接修饰的词前后，副词不能修饰名词
这题的关键在于 contact是名词 不是动词 所以不用用副词 directly修饰 而应该用形容词direct
1. it 无指代 AB
2. directly是副词，只能修饰动词have或者介词短语with an ichana (dream) experience等非名词成分，但在逻辑上，其应修饰名词contact，即，直接的接触。ACE
3. due to通常用来表示原因而不是方法。
1）A与C的contact with … directly with/through中的directly有歧义，可能修饰contact也可能修饰with/through
2）A与B的it指代不清
3）两者中只能用latter不能用last，C不对
4）due to不能表示方式，E不对。表方式只能用with/through/by means of/by way of
directly是副词，只能修饰动词have或者介词短语with an ichana (dream) experience等非名词成分，但在逻辑上，其应修饰名词contact，即，直接的接触。due to通常用来表示原因而不是方法。
错选E，把contact想成verb了，“directly是副词，只能修饰动词have或者介词短语with an ichana (dream) experience等非名词成分，但在逻辑上，其应修饰名词contact，即，直接的接触。”
due to用错，“due to通常用来表示原因而不是方法。”
directly是副词，只能修饰动词have或者介词短语with an ichana (dream) experience等非名词成分，但在逻辑上，其应修饰名词contact，即，直接的接触。
只能是have direct contact，直接的联络；不能是have contact directly，副词修饰动词，直接拥有
it没有指代对象。
A. it 指代歧义；directly修饰歧义；
B. it指代歧义
C. 两者之间的后者用latter；directly修饰歧义
D. direct直接修饰contact合理
E. due to通常用来表示原因而不是方法。
如果把c改成contacted with the last directly through
是否正确？把contract看作动词
the last 和过去有联系? 文中应该说是后者吧

lateral横向的
latter后者
AB中的it非常的ambiguous
and, if a partner and i are going over the terms of a contract and we reach a mutually acceptable compromise, then we agree ON that compromise (and, in this case, "agree with" and "agree to" are wrong).
if i have the same opinion as person X does, then i agree WITH person X (and, in this situation, "agree on" and "agree to" are wrong).
on the other hand, if someone with power over me, such as an employer, offers thing Y and i accept it, then i agree TO thing Y (and, in this situation, "agree with" and "agree on" are wrong).
the example given in the book is "X is a means to Y", which means that X is some action that can be used in an attempt to attain condition Y.
the example given here is "Y can be done by means of X", which means that X is a way of accomplishing whatever Y is.
these are unrelated.
if you're still having trouble seeing the ambiguity here, consider the following:
Use this door only after 5pm.
interpretation #1:
Use this door only after 5pm (i.e., don't use any other doors after 5pm)
interpretation #2:
Use this door only after 5pm (i.e., don't use this door until 5pm)
